The advantage and attraction of social networking isn't lost on the jihadist community, apparently. New postings on the Ansar al-Mujahideen Arabic forum have been discussing a proposal by one contributor to create a Facebook-like site for jihadists, according to SITE Intel Group, which monitors jihadists activities online.

The idea has surfaced as various jihadi sites have mysteriously gone dark, leaving some to speculate whether there was a covert takedown by a spy agency.

In a posting, the user identified as Rakan al-Ashja'i notes that the terror adherents depend on different online forums and social networking sites for posting propaganda and discussions.

"What I am hoping is to program an application that would spare them using all of that and also attract hundreds and thousands of new brothers to work in this field," the jihadist posted, according to a translation provided by SITE. "It will register their memberships, then they need only enter and publish what they want in all the sites and forums underneath with the click of a button."

"We will benefit from the ideas in Facebook a lot, Allah the almighty willing," al-Ashja'i said.

The posting says the one-click would save time and allow for instant republishing on multiple jihadist sites.

"Most of their time is spent in searching for new sites and creating memberships and adding them to their list, instead of wasting time in publishing on the same site always," the jihadist said. "Also, it will be fun and it will attract more brothers to work in publishing."

The idea was met with mostly tepid interest, although it got some enthusiasm, according to responses translated by SITE.

"If I could make a social networking website with the same capabilities and everything like Facebook when it first appeared - it is a very good idea," wrote a user identified as Muhannad al-Balqani. "It would be a social networking website independent from spies and agent media."

One jihadist, who goes by Abu Hakim, said there could be a technical issue, because "the publishing sites will deal with this site as spam."

Another jihadist warned of the difficulty of turning the idea into reality because "programming is a wonderful science, but it needs a lot of work and to engage your brain 200%."

Al-Ashja'i does not seem put off by the concerns. "It will never be a big obstacle and we can pass it," he wrote in response to one criticism.

Islam is the root of the problem. Muslim clerics, devout Muslims and Islamists are responsible for the violence, terrorism, hatred and discrimination around the world. These devil' worshipers transform ordinary people into irrational beasts capable of committing the worse atrocities without experiencing remorse or guilt. These guys are colluded with Muslim monarchs and leaders, thanks to their satanic Islamic religion, monarchs/leaders seized their countries wealth and natural resources (oil) entirely for themselves, they can have hundreds of concubines and all the sexual pleasures and exert absolute power over their people. In retribution to their allegiance , monarchs grant Islamic clerics well paid jobs such as judges, police, administrators, inquisitors, executioners, etc where they can impose and extend their diabolic Islamic system on their citizens and eventually around the world otherwise Satan can take away their privileges.

I am not positive where you are getting your info, however great topic. I needs to spend a while learning much more or working out more. Thank you for fantastic info I used to be searching for this information for my mission.

Just wish to say your article is as amazing. The clarity on your post is just nice and that i could suppose you are knowledgeable in this subject. Well together with your permission allow me to snatch your RSS feed to keep up to date with impending post. Thanks a million and please carry on the enjoyable work.

You stupid jihad terrorist pieces of S***, go suck on a C***. I have fought you all over Iraq and we kicked your ass so hard you will never win against us. Go suck each other off and go cry to your allah until I make you meet your 72 fat virgins, you stupid idiots

When I seen the Heading I thougt it was about Christian Embassy. I was wondering why they need anymore than being locatedin the Pentagon on Naval Vessels at sea, the Embassy in Iraq with complete access and all paid for by the millitary. I prefer Washing DC, as corrupt and degenerate as it is, to the one they prefer. Jerusalem! What I cant figure out is why an over a 450 Billion a year Industry needs part of our millitary budget and millions more from a Federal Faith Based Charity Fund. A program that is a part of Homeland Security and gets free transportation of their bodys, and biales to pass out in Islamic nations and get free meals and a place to sleep.

jihad is about making life better and right its not about about killing innocent people like you do in afghanistan
bin laden he was cia agent his mission was to destroy islam picture and give right to united to kill innocent muslimss

You my friend are out of your Fu&^$ing mind. I've been in Desert Storm Desert shield, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation enduring Freedom and a few more. I have wasted a lot of your brothers and Patrol weekly to find and destroy more like you. I hope you know that Dept of homeland Security the FBi and CIA all monitor these sites. expect a knock at your door from them any minute . you piece of Militant shit!

The whole rant is a lie. YOU are a lie, whatever your name is. In its entire existence, Israel has not harmed a single innocent civilian, has never used "white phosphorous" or bomblets in Lebanon, and does not in any way influence American politics.
But what IS undisputed is every terrorist action committed in the past 50 years was carried out by muzzies.

@yakobi

I challenge you to post data that prooves my assertions to be false.

Israel has admitted to white phosphorus being used, and the bombing of lebannon is no secret.

so many followers of muhammed on this site wanting to bring about a world allah-cracy like Afganistan, Pakistan, Iran and other Stans. No, we should never allow it. Unite against Umma you infidels and protect your freedoms.

I think we should encourage this... Terrorists can create a log on account, including their name, address and phone number... should make it easier for us to track them down... Maybe the US should create the website for them. Makes sense to me. Stupid Jihadis, how dumb do you get... oh wait... dumb enough to believe they're going to heaven after murdering people and committing suicide at the same time.... Huh, funny, last time i checked, both of those acts will send you straight to hell.

This is what I detest. You are absolutely right about the need to track down jihadists and some toehr things, and then you have to bring heaven and hell into it. They do not exist. If they do, they are irrelevant, as this is a political issue. For me, the issue is I do not want my children, their children and so forth to have to deal with these nuts. They've been tolerated for over a thousand years and it's time to tell them they they must reform or be destroyed.

Wow, who knew that jihad could be fun! What a great marketing tool these tools have come up with. Now if only these worthless blocks of carbon would apply their "genius" to solving real problems and advancing the cause of humanity, instead of trying to kill us all to spread Islamic hatred, the world might actually become a better place.

Reliable statistics don't support your view. Over 90% of terrorist acts worldwide are perpetrated by Muslims. And when infidels commit act of terror, they hardly ever shout "God is great". You need to do your homework.y

You sir are an ignorant sheep if you believe all terrorists in the world are muslims. Read between the lines and break out of your narrow confined shell and MAYBE you will see that the largest terrorist organization in the world is the United States Government.

The USA military arsenal, and its tactics, are judged according to shock and awe factors.

We are the terrorists, I agree.

But Israel is much, much worse....

If it were not for the US, we would be having this conversation in German and Muslims in Eastern Europe would have been decimated by the Serbs. Not to mention saving the People of Lybia. The list is actually much longer but I think you get the idea.

INTRO: OK weak minded compatriots and knuckleheads...welcome to this antisocial website....prerequisites are a having half blown face from cooking IED sessions gone bad.....stinking from not showering since 911....and a sheer desire to get busted....hoorrraaahhhhh!!!!

Facebook was started by a J-ew. Once again, the parasitic mu-slims use what normal people have created, like jetliners, to hurt the very people who created the technology. They must be so envious of people who know how use their brains for good, not for evil i-slam.

A J – E – W like the dead one hanging on the wall of your church that you kneel to and pray too?

Maddy F.

Yes... I'm also extremely sick of these wacko muzzies 'offing' anyone that disagrees with their very warped "religion"... which is more which grows more fascist by the week, I've been lusting for Mecca and Media for years now... for both to become a slab or radioactive green, shiny glass!

April 5, 2012 at 11:52 am |

sigh...

Where can I sign up for this website? I want to post pics of naked chicks on it. Actually, I don't think that would do much for the men in the middle east. I've mainly seen them using women to beat the crap out of or for procreation. Their men and little boys are usually the recreation part of sex. Pretty nasty...

I'm tired of getting deployed, fighting an winnable war, and being a part of a society that is so overly PC. I guess it's easy to judge when 98% of the US population is civilian and probably never had to kill another human being during war. It's easy to call us monsters for claiming non combatant casualties and causing massive collateral damage. We were asked by the public to go to war. So let us go to war. We are not a force designed for occupational and policing. We are a machine of destruction. A lethal force designed to deliver fast, powerful, decisive blows to the enemy.

Awwwww.......poor widdle murdering fuck-tard. How hard it must be knowing the 'other 98% of us' can go through life without the compulsion to kill someone. Next time you get the urge to squeeze the trigger, put the barrel into your toothless, over-flowing-with-step-dads semen, mouth – and see how many times you can pull the trigger.

Oh, and as long as you're on the tax-payers tit, do as you're fucking told and stop your whining.

A simple thank you for the fine service man trying to protect you would have sufficed. Please tell me your smart enough to realize that you would much rather him being in that mid evil cess pool defending your sorry a$$ rather then down the block from you. so as your living your pompus life, beating your wife and kicking your dog, you can think about this man protecting you with his hands tied behind his back helping people, not unlike yourself, who could care less.

Feltch

He's not 'protecting' me. You, either. He, or she, is pulling in a shitty paycheck from the government (*gasp* – Socialism!) because they're too fucking stupid to even get hired at Walmart or Mickey Dees.

April 5, 2012 at 11:41 am |

heywood

Fletch, your probably a trust fund baby or a thief. Your too stupid to have made money on your own. some of these people actually do it out of the goodness of their hearts or they feel an obligation to their country. not everyone is spoiled pompous putz like you.

April 5, 2012 at 12:11 pm |

grooveclubhouse

Feltch: That is the most hurtful thing I have ever heard towards veterans. We never signed on the dotted line to get rich. Even the haji's have more integrity than you Feltch. At least they are willing to fight for something.. no mater how delusional and screwed up that thing might be. You are just a turd that just won't flush floating under the ubrella of protection provided to you. You are the type that probably says "F the police" and then goes crying to them when your xbox gets stolen.

ProudArmyMOM28

I am completely blown away by your statement!!!!! My son was a good citizen and a good kid who decided he wanted to SERVE our country and PROTECT the USA!!!!! Are you american??? If not maybe you should leave!! Your statements are unbelievably ridiculous and HOW DARE you saythings like this to a service man??? Yes they make a small check and also sacrifice time with their kiddos and family so we can lay our heads down a sleep peacefully!! DId you forget 9/11....Thats what they are trying to protect us from again!!!!! HOOAH!!!!!!!!

April 5, 2012 at 12:46 pm |

2 cents

While his rhetoric is vile and hate filled, he does make a valid point....I'll believe someone joins the military to "serve their country" when they politely refuse the paycheck associated with it.....I have more than one loved-one in the military, and each of them made that choice because it was the best career option available to them

I doubt that you've ever been 'deployed' to anything.
I doubt that you are in the US Armed Forces.

The SITE work is simply no more than a double standard effort. Does the SITE track down the deception, lies, violent acts committed by government agencies like CIA and the military as welll?? Enough of this hypocrisy and double stanards. You will never get rid of a vice if your are doing it yourself. You will never be succcessful in combating the so-called "Jihadist terrorist networks" if you can not dismantle the similar operations carried out by the US Government and its allies. Lessons have never been learned.

US & its allies always mistakenly and arrogantly believe they are superior; they are more civilized than Muslims although history proves that it was the Americans and Westerners who started and used the most lethal weapons and wars and inflicted the greatest injuries, death and destruction on humanity.

The US and West will Never Live in peace as long as they manufacture weapons of mass destruction and produce weapons to sell to the world, particularly the developing countries.

And they really think they are smart!!! How a smart person create a weapon to be used against him??

1. We are superior
2. We are not fighting a war, we are rebuilding and training while policing. This is not conventional or what the military is designed for.
3. If we wanted to, we could easily over power the entire middle east with out the use of a single nuke. This is not our goal. We are trying to bring stability to the region.
4. We are merciful and the enemy takes advantage of this. We are not the ones beating/murdering our children and women for petty things.

Facebook was started by a J-ew. Once again, the parasitic mu-slims use what normal people have created, like jetliners, to hurt the very people who created the technology. They must be so envious of people who know how use their brains for good, not for your evil i-slam.

Good. Easily monitored, plus intercept by setting up dead-end sites rerouting their diabolical plans and set up so posts are only seen by the sender. They won't even know they're not sending or receiving their information.

We need a world jihad against neocons. These end time cults invading USA politics calling to bring about the events to meet the goals to setup the end time to come so that the messiah can returns. These endless wars are just that! THEY ARE ENDLESS! If you read the NEocon warbooks written by christian war fanatics they want USA to invade Syria and Iran and any place that has any Biblical relevance and oil. Then when the middle east is weak enough then the christians will want the neocons to land grab from Syria and Iraq and Lebanon. So we are looking at another 40-50 years of more wars and P.N.A.C. has built their policy around these neocon ideologies which will also mean USA will burn the Constuitution to bring USA more in line with UN thus world goverment will be complete. I tell you now this is a SATANIC ploy. A lie that even the BIBLE WARNS us against the new world order. To decieve the very elect is what SATAN has done and they say they do it for the love of Jesus/GOD.

Neocons and their warring evangelical christian buddies will surely burn in hell for going against the wishes of the Bible.

Bobby, Bobby Bobby. Could you cite an example of the Presidents alleged racial hatred. Are you by chance of a race that is the object of this hatred? Or is it more like you have a persecution complex? Or are you just mindlessly bashing the President out of force of habit?

well some guy invented dynamite and now we have the nobel peace price because those of the military mindset misused nobel's invention , because dynamite was invented for the sole purpose of building roads and building in rock and for minning purposes .
nobel was so disgusted when his invention was wrongfully used against mankind as a weapon to murder that it is reported that if he had known he would loose control of its intended use he would have kept the knowldge of the invention to him self and never released it to the world.

well now with the invention of the computer and high tech gizmos social media is not so social , infact it is becoming a weapon , everything from our interact card to our cell phones to gps and computers can now be used as a weapon against humanity.
so knowing what we know now just how great of an idea was it to invent the computer that has lead to this techno world where threats conspire from many different groups against us . everything from skinheads to jihadist to hacking to personal ID theaft to military electronic jamming to guiding missiles to drones to monitoring our every day life both private and public ?
no matter how promising something seems in the begining is quickly twisted into a dark side of destruction.

so the nobel peace price gives a new light into our future as to what appears to be a benefit will most likely be used against the very purpose it was intended for.
from a dark CLOUD TO A CLOUD OF HOPE ! MAY THE CLOUD OF HOPE PREVAIL AGAINST THE UGLY DARK SIDE !

There are a few flaws to your theory. If not Nobel, then someone else would have invented dynamite. If not us then someone else would have invented computers. The human appetite for power is what turns these tools to weapons. As a matter of fact I think it's good to be able to engage the jihadists directly online. If based on our beliefs they are all brainwashed, then this is a good opportunity for us to try to un-wash their brain.

"If I could make a social networking website with the same capabilities and everything like Facebook when it first appeared – it is a very good idea," he added " because I hate that new Timeline cr*p."

@Fred Phred
Here are some more hobbies/opinions/beliefs that you could write on Muhammed's fb page:
In qu'ran, he said 'Do you not see how Allah has created the seven heavens one above the other, and made the moon a light in their midst, and made the Sun as a lamp. [Quran-71: 15-16]
And He completed the seven firmaments (heavens) in two days and assigned to each heaven its command; and We adorned the lower heaven with lamps (Sun), and rendered it guarded… [Quran- 41:12]'
According to these two verses, the moon lies in the middle of the seven heavens, and the Sun and stars (lamps) lie in the lowest heaven. Therefore muhammed thought that the moon is further away from us than the sun and the stars! This definitely came from god
When asked where does the sun go at night, Muhammed said 'it goes into a murky water and sits on its throne, then asks allah for permission to come out in the morning'. LOL. [Then Prophet replied, “After setting, the sun remains prostrated under Allah’s Aro’sh (Allah’s throne) and waits for Allah’s command for rising again in the East.”] Sahih Bukhari Hadith. I never knew that the sun was under allahs throne at night! wow!
Another thing he said was that women are deficient in intelligence to men. From Quran: "If they party liable is mentally deficient, or weak, or unable Himself to dictate, Let his guardian dictate faithfully, and get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her. " – Quran Chapter 2:282
This clearly shows that Islam regards women inferior to men. That's why under Sharia (Islamic) law, two women are needed to make up one male witness.
And yes u pointed out beating wives is cool and one of muhammeds great hobbies! "a man must not be asked why he beat his wife." – Quran sura 4:34
Also muhammed thinks that women are permanently ill: "They question thee (O Muhammad) concerning menstruation. Say: It is an illness, so let women alone at such times and go not in unto them till they are cleansed. And when they have purified themselves, then go in unto them as Allah hath enjoined upon you. Truly Allah loveth those who turn unto Him, and loveth those who have a care for cleanness." – Quran chapter 2:222
So Islam and Muham_mad considers menstruation an illness? I guess women are cured of their illness after they stop menstruation. Another great fb opinion by muhammed can be added from this!
Many more muhammed fb opinions/hobbies can be made by just reading the obviously stupid stuff in the quran!

They've always been hypocrates. Even the 911 bombers went out to strip clubs the night before. They claim they hate the west it's morals yet wish they could live that way. This is what happens when you live in a repressed society,
